href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/tag\/rasmus-hojlund\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Rasmus Hojlund<\/a> hasn\u2019t had the best of times at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/club\/stadium\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Old Trafford<\/a>, especially after taking a big step backwards from a promising debut season at the club. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/match-coverage\/ruben-amorims-senior-star-was-shown-up-again-by-17-year-old-prodigy-vs-asean-all-stars\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Hojlund struggled badly for form<\/a> last season, and his confidence looked shot, leading to reports of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/transfer-news\/laurie-whitwell-provides-rasmus-hojlund-transfer-update-more-likely-than-not\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">United looking to sell him <\/a>this summer. <\/p>\n<p>However, now that no new striker has arrived, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/news\/ruben-amorim-not-giving-up-on-rasmus-hojlund-better-days-to-follow-dire-chelsea-performance\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Amorim regularly backed Hojlund last season<\/a>, Man Utd fans are hoping for a resurgence.<\/p>\n<p>While that isn\u2019t out of the picture, the current sentiment at the club regarding Hojlund is full of worries, because they see the investment made in him as effectively a sunk cost. <\/p>\n<p>United in Focus spoke to transfer insider Graeme Bailey, who reported the latest around Hojlund at United, a sentiment that is felt for another player as well. <\/p>\n<p>Bailey said: \u201c[Benjamin Sesko] is very expensive and they really don\u2019t want another Hojlund situation, that is against them \u2013 they were not able to get rid of him, no reasonable offer was made \u2013 they are very worried about him, same with [Mason] Mount \u2013 the losses could be enormous.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The deal for Hojlund has made Man Utd so wary that they are thinking twice before buying a young striker like Sesko for a huge fee again. <\/p>\n<p>Man Utd\u2019s fears for Hojlund coming to fruition<\/p>\n<p>Their fears for Hojlund have already come to fruition in this window after <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/transfer-news\/fabrizio-romano-says-man-utd-received-loan-with-easy-obligation-for-struggling-star-two-factors-changed-it\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">they received only loan offers<\/a> for a player who, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unitedinfocus.com\/news\/man-utd-have-genuine-reluctance-to-sell-struggling-star-he-can-be-a-better-player-after-polishing\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">theoretically, could improve a lot<\/a> in a better atmosphere. <\/p>\n<p>The idea behind buying Hojlund was that even if it doesn\u2019t work out, they can at least sell other teams on his potential and get their money back. <\/p>\n<p>However, this transfer window and the lack of concrete interest in Hojlund have seen their worst fears realised, that a player, no matter how young, can\u2019t be sold for profit if the initial investment was ludicrous. <\/p>\n<p>The same goes for Mount, who has had an injury-riddled time at Old Trafford and is another favourite of Ruben Amorim. <\/p>\n<p>If they were to put Mount on the transfer list this summer, it is easy to presume that they won\u2019t get many offers, let alone proposals that come close to the \u00a355m they paid for him.<\/p>\n<p>\u2018Enormous losses\u2019 is a term Ineos might have to get increasingly familiar with in the next two summer windows, as well as the Glazer era contracts come off the books. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s no other way to get around this mess. Their worry is understandable. <\/p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Manchester United haven\u2019t managed the well-publicised rebuild they were promising and the fans were waiting for, and United&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":21390,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[19432,17585,7794,403,99],"class_list":{"0":"post-21389","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-soccer","8":"tag-mason-mount","9":"tag-rasmus-hojlund","10":"tag-ruben-amorim","11":"tag-soccer","12":"tag-sports"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21389","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=21389"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/21389\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/21390"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=21389"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=21389"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=21389"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
